How to Adapt a Digital Text
To lower the reading level of any text, copy and paste it into a Word document.
Then go to File-Options-Proofing and select "readability."
When you run spell-check/grammar-check, the Flesch Readability rating will be calculated.
Shorten sentences and simplify complex descriptions and syntax. Re-run spell-check to see if you have reduced the text to the level you need.
If not, take another pass. Breaking up paragraphs can also reduce the reading level.
